Live 10 €349/599

Four years after version 9, Live 10 made up for lost time by implementing a plethora of workflow changes – in the Arrangement View, especially – that add up to a genuine improvement in overall productivity. On the creative side, the Wavetable synth makes for a fine new flagship instrument, while the Drum Bus module has found a permanent home on our percussion bus, and Echo finally sees Ableton taking delay effects seriously. And let’s not forget that fresh, contemporary graphical redesign, making Ableton’s muchloved DAW nicer to work in than ever. 255 » 9/10
